A1.2.3.3.1 - Find probabilities for compound events (e.g., find probability of read and blue, find probability of red or blue) and represent as a fraction, decimal, or percent.
A number cube with sides labeled 1 through 6 is rolled two times, and the sum of the numbers that end face up is calculated. What is the probability that the sum of the numbers is 3?
A. 1/18
B. 1 /12
C. 1/9
D. 1 /2
The faces of a cube are numbered from 1 to 6. If the cube is tossed once, what is the probability that a prime number or a number divisible by 2 is obtained?
A1.2.3.3 - Apply probability to practical situations.
Key Vocabulary: Compound Event, Probability, Combination, Dependent Event, Independent Event, Union, Intersection
